A LITTLE MORE GARLAND.

Attorney General Garland has al
dressed letter to the Hon. h. I. DAVIS,
of Massachusetts, upon the subject Oh
compensation of government snperVis'
ors of elections, which must call to the
minds of all our intelligent readers the
great contest of 1879, when the Democ-
racy, led by such bitter relics OF rebel
ion as Beck and Blackburn. proposed IN
the language of Gen. Garfield Ito starve
to death the government they could not
shoot to death, by Withholding all APP
preparations for government expenses
till the last vestige of the war legislation
had been wiped out" The particular
law then complained of was the law au-
thorizing the appointment by the judg-
es of the u. 5. district courts of these in
spectors. They had to back down from
| their rebellious position, and now Mr.
| Garland, the pan-electric bower of Gro
yer Cleveland, proposes to put them oil
half time and half pay. The law giyel
ten days work and ten days pay. Mr.
Garland writes Mr.. Davis that Ave day,
is the maximum that can be paid them
The Democracy have a holy horror o
honest supervision of the election in tn
southern states, when any national can
didate or member of congress Is to b
elected, and if they cannot nullify tn
law creating them, Garland can rende
their labors useless by restricting thei
; time and nav.

which said deceased died seized. And 1t ap-
pearing by said petition that there is not sui

administrator to pay said debts, and that IL is
necessary in order to pay the same, to sell all

rooms for prospective needs in lower grades.
This will give us, after some other transfers.
two vacant rooms in the Union, and one In the
Pleasant Grove, to use in the future expan-
sion so sure to be upon us.
Our High school has gained for itself a
name and is now ranked among the highest I'm
the State. It's graduates rank high I'm the
University. An this has been gained by
working Mt great disadvantage. We speak
speak within bounds when we assert that our
school Is ranked as superior to that of places
exceeding us In population. and yet we have
done less for our High school than far smaller
places nave done. Our present accommoda-
lions viii not even compare with those OF our
smaller neighbors. as st. Peter, waseca, or
Owatonna. Faribault. He'd Wing, Saltwater,
Duluth, and winona have all provided extern
si'e high school accommodations. Surely our
school with Its excellent reputation is worthy
OF accommodations commensurate with its
needs. The bonds we propose will run long

that the burden will not be felt. aud the time
of payment is so far OF that when they be-

A few words here in regard to the
place of holding our club meetings here
after may not be out of place, if space
will permit. AS two members of the
district school board have already closed
the school house to the prohibition club
and also to all services of the M. E.
church and in direct opposition to the
wishes of large majority of the people
of the district, we will of course try and
secure other quarters for our club, at
least until after the next annual school
meeting, at which time change will
undoubtedly be made in the district
board, and we will again be allowed to
hold forth in our usual place.

In the Primary Of this building We were
compelled To hold for several months last
fall, half day sessions, because all the pupils
could not be accommodated, and In all the
primaries we are forced to decline to receive
pupils at present because of want of seats and
room.
Ii has been necessary to send from the
Grammar school, fifteen pupils, belonging to
the lowest class, into the.6th grade room for
want of space In the Grammar room. The
same state OF things exists In the Union build
ing, as will be shown further on, and about
twenty pupils were forced to wait fl ON two
weeks to two months for seat In either of
these rooms. More than thirty tuition appli-
cants pupils from out OF the school district) 1t
was necessary to refuse altogether, because
we had neither place nor seats.
The condition Of the heating and ventilatng
arrangements of the Pleasant Grove building
are as follows:
When the building was erected In 1869, turn
aces were placed In the cellar. BESIDE the
smoke fiues ventilating fiues opening by a re
gister into each room were placed. 1t was
| soon found that these furnace s were not suf-
ficient for heating the building, and stoves
| were then placed in each room. and the stove
pipes were run into the ventilating fiues. Thi 8
| necessitated the closing of the registers, and
the only means of ventilation left were the
windows The smoke fiues have given trouble
from all time, as being too small for the work
expected of them.
Now that the furnaces are worn out from
long service, and require almost daily patch
ing with clay to prevent leakage OF smoke in
~ ha al in a
ton Of the wind may and does I'LL the various
school rooms with smoke from the stoves,
chimueys, and even from the fresh air regist-
ers. 1t has been of weekly occurrence that one
or more OF the school rooms had to be closed
because of smoke. Children hay been with
drawn from school on account OF this trouble
and certain pupils now are under the doctors
care because of eye troubles brought on by
the smoky condition Of these school rooms.
The lowering OF the windows for ventilation
has exposed pupils frequently to cold drafts.
Many colds have been thus contracted and two
deaths are directly charged to colds contract
ed by sitting in the draft from a window in
one OF these school rooms.
In spite of all efforts OF teachers, ventilation
| Is very imperfect. Headaches and troubles
incident to breathing foul air are of daily oc-
currence. This is especially marked among
the pupils OF higher grades.
In the Union building there are six large
school rooms. and at the beginning OF the
present school year one school room was
opened in small frame building standing 'on
the school grounds, to accommodate those pri-
mary children heretofore occupying rented
room in the Citizens National Bank building
This frame building is regarded by us as only
a temporary expedient. One room is occupied
in this building,
The enrolment and regular seating fac ILL.,
ties of the Union building are as follows:
